Seeing Him, Turning to God

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Acts 9:35 as a parable of internal awakening. The 'him' seen by those in Lydda and Saron is your state of wholeness, a healed imagination. When you regard this inner healing as real, the observers—your other states of consciousness—are moved to turn toward the Lord, the I AM that you are at this moment. The crowd's turning is the psychological consequence of assuming the truth of your own healing: salvation and true worship arise not from distant events, but from the conviction that God is present here and now. Your mind becomes a landscape where what you imagine about yourself becomes the visible life of those around you. To perform the practice, you must dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled: imagine the healed version of yourself and feel it as already real; see others respond with awe and turn toward the Lord within. As you persist, the outer is but a reflection of your inward turning.
